You want more pressure, not less, on a wet road.
What works in the dry (ie. lower pressure = more grip) doesn't work in the wet.
The smaller contact patch and greater force exerted on a smaller contact patch will 'squeegee' water away from the contact patch more effectively and reduce the chance of aquaplaning (sliding).
This is why narrower tyred bikes are less likely to slip and slide on wet roads than wide-tyred bikes.
